Ube powder is derived from purple yams and is commonly used in cooking and baking to add a unique purple hue and a subtle, sweet flavor to various dishes. The purple yam, known as ube, is a tuber widely used in Filipino and other Southeast Asian cuisines. It’s transformed into powder form by dehydrating and grinding the yams. This powder is versatile, employed in making desserts like ice cream, cakes, pastries, and even savory dishes, providing a distinct purple color and a delightful taste reminiscent of vanilla and a touch of nuttiness. Its vibrant color makes it a popular choice for both culinary and aesthetic purposes in various recipes.
